Meet Betsy (she/her)

I’m so glad you’re here. If you’ve been feeling anxious, stuck in people-pleasing, or weighed down by past trauma, you don’t have to carry it alone. Many of my clients come to me feeling exhausted, disconnected from their true selves, and longing for real relief and change.

I specialize in working with adults who are ready to break free from old patterns, calm anxiety, and heal from the past. In our work together, you’ll find a safe, affirming space where all of you is welcome.

My approach is warm, present, and deeply attuned—I’ll meet you exactly where you are and help you move toward feeling lighter, more confident, and more connected to yourself and others.
